    new file monitor_stats.c for the new API.
    add arm_monitor_counter new command support.
    add set_monitor_counter new command support.
    
    The device can monitor specific counters and provide an event to notify
    when these counters are changed.
    The monitoring is done in best effort manner where the minimum
    notification period is 200 ms, however when the device is loaded, the
    notification might be delayed.
    To configure the required counters to be monitored, the
    SET_MONITOR_COUNTER command shall be used with a list of counters to be
    monitored.
    The device firmware can monitor up to HCA_CAP.max_num_of_monitor_counters.
    The configuration is done based on counter type (such as ppcnt, q counter,
    etc) and additional param according to the type of counter selected.
    Upon monitor counter change, the device will generate
    Monitor_Counter_Change event.
    The device will not generate new events unless the driver re-arms the
    monitoring functionality, using the ARM_MONITOR_COUNTER command.
